Something doesn't quite line up folks.
It's a good point.

Even with very wrong headspace, say, 3mm longer, the gun could still fire -- the extractor holds the cartridge in place so it would not fall deep into chamber -- It will not fire reliably, but using long chamber to prevent firing definitely won't be very effective. So the theory does have a serious hole.
